Issue - meetings

To determine the award of Community Grants to Voluntary and Community Organisations which meet the criteria approved by Cheshire East Council. 

The Cabinet Member considered a report on the award of Community Grants to Voluntary and Community Organisations which met the criteria approved by Cheshire East Council.

Cheshire East Council had received various applications for community grants to be considered in line with the Council’s Policy for the Allocation of Community Grants. Each grant application was outlined in the report, together with the reason for the recommendation in respect of that application.

All of the proposed grants could be funded from within existing budgets approved as part of the Council’s Budget for 2011/12.   

Those applicants whose applications had been declined would be advised of the reasons. Those  applicants whose awards were less than the amount requested would be advised of the rationale leading to that decision and would be advised where appropriate to seek funding from their respective town councils.

RESOLVED

That the Community Grants listed in the Appendix to the report be awarded, declined or deferred as indicated.
